cpanel Noobie

Hello Everyone,
i am a new user to cpanel, I do not know anything about it, I have read the cpanel user guide, and still am confused....
Can you all please help me!!
Firstly, when I enter my domain name (www.lulah.id.au:2082) I get this page cannot be displayed msg....my webhost sent me an email telling me that it takes 24-72hrs for WWW to acknowledge my site, but that was 2 weeks ago, and i still cant see it.
I do not know anything about php, cgi, perl, linux, oscommerce...etc
I DO know how to write HTML, if that is any consellation, I also have been using a program called ecommpro in windows.
I would like to set up a shopping cart on my site...and I have managed to install OsCommerce on the server...(i think)
But I have noticed in some of the threads that this file (httpd.conf) has been mentioned, could anyone please tell me where to find it??? I think that is where i may need to start from??? Your help would be greatly appreciated
thank you all in advance
Kylie

Ask your host to correct your DNS; to the correct one if they have registered the domain foryou. else you will need to change it to the nameserver to the correct ones by modifying the nameservers at your registrar.

since you do have the server root ; you will not have access to the httpd.conf and as far as i can see; it is suggested that you get someone experienced to install the OScommerce on your website.

i have contacted my hosting company, but it takes a while for them to reply to emails, and since i use other forums quite often, i thought maybe this forum would be able to help me get started, as forums tend to help in layman's terms

From my location, it appears as if your domain has properly propogated. I can view your oscommerce default page by accessing http://www.lulah.id.au and also receive a cpanel authentication/login screen when atttempting to access http://www.lulah.id.au:2082

That said, the httpd.conf file can only be modified by a superuser/server admin. If the modification needed is simply a run-time directive configuration change, chances are that you could override the server default by placing the appropriate directive in an .htaccess file in your public_html folder (or your oscommerce folder).

this is what is showing in my .htaccess, can you tell me where i am supposed to overide the option?
